A view of the interior of the original Yankee Stadium in The Bronx in New York City. It served as the home baseball park of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees from 1923 to 1973 and after extensive renovations, from 1976 to 2008. Located at East 161st Street and River Avenue the stadium has been superceeded by a new ground (built close by) which opened in 2009. The majority of the old stadium, including the above-ground structure, is to be demolished to become parkland, but is still being retained for little league baseball. The famous "facade", a white frieze that runs along the bleacher billboards and scoreboard can clearly be seen in this view.
